[hometext] => the undaunted human spirit
[bodytext] => People come, people go All the same in a woman’s time. But when that person is her child She makes a promise, hard in mind. A mother can only know How much her promise will mean But a child with open heart Can see the cost to her it’s been. As children we have erred Mother’s pardon made it OK She held her lantern steady So to show us, the right way. She lived by the law of motherhood To nurture with unbending love. For all time through eternity With the heart of a lion! Yet soft as a dove. A anxious bride walked the aisle Her mother’s smile, made all OK She held her lantern steady And softly, showed the way. Her examples are a blessing To a woman who watched in awe Who has learnt the gift of giving From a mother who gave more. She who sent her only son to war His mother’s kiss, made it OK. She held her lantern steady As back home, she showed the way. When fear is overpowering From unanswered questions rife Her son will feel comfort, From her lantern glowing forever through the night. She laid fighting for breath Our mother’s eyes, told us it’s OK She held her lantern steady And bravely, showed the way. Will I have someone to sit by me? On the fateful day I die? If so will that person Have feelings for me to cry? Her husband need not fear Our mother’s love tells him, it’s OK She will hold her lantern steady And lovingly show him the way. Mother’s soul brightly glows Her love will never part She holds her lantern steady In every grandchild’s heart. As has been for all time Mother has guided our path With her precious lantern Aloft to light the dark We seek that light every time Problems come our way. Mother’s memory will light our heart And tell us it’s OK.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
